Widely targeted metabolomic analysis reveals effects of yellowing process time on the flavor of vine tea ().

The bitter and astringent taste and miscellaneous smell of vine tea prevent its further development. In this study, we used a processing technology that mimics yellow tea to improve the flavor of vine tea and revealed its internal reasons through metabolomics. Sensory evaluation showed the yellowing process for 6-12 h reduced the bitterness and astringency significantly, and enriched the aroma.

Comprehensive analysis of the mitochondrial genome of : insights into repeat-mediated recombinations and RNA editing-induced stop codon acquisition.

is an economically significant medicinal plant. Yet, the structure and sequence of its mitochondrial genome has not been published, which plays a crucial role in evolutionary analysis and regulating respiratory-related macromolecule synthesis. In this study, the mitogenome was sequenced employing a combination of Illumina short reads and Nanopore long reads, with subsequent assembly using a hybrid strategy.

Identification of a secondary Q-marker in high-quality ecotypes of L. and exploration of the target preference.

Safflower () has the efficacy for promoting blood circulation and preventing cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases and is thus a valuable medicinal and functional food plant. However, how to evaluate high-quality safflower is still a problem. To differentiate intraspecies ecotypes and illustrate the mechanisms of differential metabolites of from different regions, this study combined the widely targeted metabolome, weighted network pharmacology, and molecular docking to filter bioactive compounds and predict the target preference.

Environmental Response to Root Secondary Metabolite Accumulation in Paeonia lactiflora: Insights from Rhizosphere Metabolism and Root-Associated Microbial Communities.

Paeonia lactiflora is a commercial crop with horticultural and medicinal value. Although interactions between plants and microbes are increasingly evident and considered to be drivers of ecosystem service, the regulatory relationship between microbial communities and the growth and root metabolites of is less well known. Here, soil metabolomics indicated that carbohydrates and organic acids were enriched in the rhizosphere (RS) with higher diversity.

Metabolome profiling and molecular docking analysis revealed the metabolic differences and potential pharmacological mechanisms of the inflorescence and succulent stem of .

is an endangered plant used for medicine and food. Our purpose is to explore the differences in metabolism between inflorescences in non-medicinal parts and succulent stems in medicinal parts in order to strengthen the application and development of the non-medicinal parts of . We performed metabolomics analysis through LC-ESI-MS/MS on the inflorescences and succulent stems of three ecotypes (saline-alkali land, grassland and sandy land) of .
